Book Reviews of A Terrible Thing Happened - A story for children who have witnessed violence or trauma
Book Review: Tender Topics
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is added to our preschool library as one of our "just in case" type books. If there was to be a traumatic incident that a child experienced, this book would be perfect to use. The 'terrible thing' is not specified, thus it could be used if a child witnesses parental arguing, abuse, an earthquake, etc. Animal characters are indirect and easy for children to relate to, and there are suggestions at the end of the book for adult intervention with the child/ren.

Summary of A Terrible Thing Happened - A story for children who have witnessed violence or trauma
Every day, it seems children witness more violence, be it in the home, on the way to school, or in the schoolyard. While we cannot prevent everything that might happen to our children, A Terrible Thing Happened helps young children process their feelings and reactions to it. "As a picture book, A Terrible Thing is an unqualified success, especially in terms of the all-important interaction of text and pictures. These illustrations are not only professionally executed, they serve the text extremely well, adding welcome touches of humor to the exposition of this very serious subject."-Michael Cart, Booklist MagazineGeneral Books
